(Can't stand the rain) Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine down here (down here, down here)
Krayzie Bone
Ain't no sunshinin' nigga, 24-7 the weather down here is always depressin'/ Got me stressin' clutchin' on my weapon/ Don't come around flossin' talkin' like you the boss, man/ Showin' off your havings and braggin' 'bout what it costs, man, cause niggas don't got a pot to piss where I'm from/ And since you ballin' and all this, nigga, we got to get some/ Man, it's a crazy thing cause everyday it rains and it seems the sky's stays gray/ So we can bearly maintain down in the ghetto/ My niggas is dyin' no matter how hard they tryin' to stay alive/ We ain't livin' we takin' strippin' (strippin')
Nigga, listen (listen) My momma's on welfare, my daddy left the house when I was 17, but who in the hell care? (hell care?) A nigga was too cool for school (school) I recognize these lessons that they teachin' me ain't even true/ A fool would believe 'em/ Cause who discovered America ain't gon' put no profit in my pocket/ Man, I'm tellin' ya (I'm tellin ya)
-Chorus-
(Can't stand the rain) Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine down here (down here, down here)

Yo! The whole world's goin' loco/ Uncontrollable po-po; They rollin' through the ghetto poppin' they metal at po' folk/ And every time I flip to the news I'm hit with the blues/ Terrorists tryin' to blow us up with shit in they shoes; Don't get it confused/ Armageddon's right around the corner, baby (corner, baby) I guess that's why they floodin' us with fornication/ Our kids grow up and be gangstas, and thugstas, and hustlas, and soldiers cuz that's what we showed 'em/ Don't believe that song/ That nigga's wrong (Let Krayzie tell ya) Gangstas don't live that long/ But nigga we sheddin' blood like that/ Whether you in, you will be sent in the streets of Iraq/ We bust back cuz we tired of the lies/ Tired of seein' mommas cryin' in the street cause Lil' Johnny done died/ I see a couple of niggas done try to get them to rock the vote/ No matter how rap you try to make it I'm not gon' vote, no
-Chorus-
(Can't stand the rain) Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine down here (down here, down here)
Krayzie Bone
When you wake up in the mornin', ain't no sunshine (sunshine) Cause we grounded by po-pos, 5-O's, and one time (one time) Man I done seen so many of my young thugs die (thugs die) And even though we doin' wrong, we want right (want right) I can't stand the rain/ I can't explain the pain/ I can't stand the rain/ I can't stand it, naw/ I can't stand the rain/ I can't explain the pain/ I can't stand the rain/ I can't stand it, naw/ It really erase my sunshine/ It really erase my sunshine/ It really erase my sunshine/ It really erase my sunshine/ We still hard time hustlin'/ We still hard time hustlin' (hard time hustlin') We still hard time hustlin'/ We still hard time hustlin' (hard time hustlin')
-Chorus-
(Can't stand the rain) Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine down here (down here, down here)
